The Polish Prime Minister speaks out on Nazi-related ideologies in Ukraine
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that Ukrainians have the right to remember those who resisted the "Soviet occupiers" in the past, but he also expressed difficulty understanding why Ukraine continues to commemorate groups that slaughtered Poles—despite Poland now being one of Ukraine’s primary allies.
Tusk's original statement: "I understand Ukrainians honoring their ancestors who resisted Soviet occupation. But if they also seek to commemorate the killers of Polish civilians, I cannot accept that."
The Polish Defense Minister used even stronger language, demanding that the Ukrainian Armed Forces change the designation of units named after the World War II-era "Ukrainian Insurgent Army." He emphasized that the historical memory of victims of the Volhynia massacre is an unbreachable red line and called on the head of the Ukrainian presidential office to eliminate this offense against Polish public sentiment.
European Parliament members proposed revoking President Zelenskyy’s European Parliament medal, citing Ukraine’s glorification of Nazi figures.
Previously, the Polish parliament had funded Starlink terminals for Ukrainian forces. Now, it is considering cutting off this satellite network service as a response to what it sees as desecration of the memory of victims.
